I did not enjoy my teenage years.

This puts me, in my opinion, in the majority of 99% of people who hated their teenage years.

Only old people think it's fun to be a teenager, okay?

I mean, you look good, it's true.

If you look at pictures of yourself, you think, even if you thought you were just a very ordinary looking person, you look at a picture of yourself and you're like, I was beautiful, you know?

Like, why wasn't I a movie star?

Why was I a junior in high school?

But I hated most of my teenage years.

First of all, algebra.

That's when you got algebra, which is something so horrible to me that once, I think it was in ninth grade that you had algebra, that the first time, I took algebra one three times.

I had to take it in summer school.

I'd take it over and over again.

I never could pass it.

I'm 75.

I've never been asked an algebra question.

I thought, what were they preparing me for?

What were they torturing me over this?

Like, I don't know what it is.

I couldn't pass it.

No, I mean, I can't remember how old I was.
